A new OKX-ICE joint venture is planning a regulated 24/7 venue for tokenized US stocks, while Securitize has already launched 1:1 backed tokenized equities on
Key takeaways
- New tokenized stock launch. Securitize launched 12 tokenized US stocks on Solana on October 8, 2026, with 1:1 share backing.
- OKXICE plans 60+ stocks. The OKX-ICE joint venture plans a 24/7 venue for more than 60 US-listed tokenized stocks, pending SEC approval.
- SEC exemption underpins projects. The SEC's five-year innovation exemption for fully backed stock tokens underpins both the Securitize launch and OKXICE plans.
What happened
On October 8, 2026, regulated financial firm Securitize launched its Securitize Stocks product, a line of tokenized US equities available to eligible investors in the US, EU and other approved regions. The initial rollout includes 12 major publicly traded companies, with each token backed one-for-one by a real underlying share held for the investor. Trading is hosted on the Solana blockchain, settles in USDC stablecoin, and uses a professional automated market maker run by Jump Trading for liquidity.
Separately, OKXICE, a joint venture between crypto exchange OKX and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), owner of the New York Stock Exchange, has notified the SEC of plans for its own 24/7 tokenized US stock trading venue. The planned platform would support more than 60 US-listed companies, run on OKX's X Layer blockchain, and operate under the SEC's five-year innovation exemption for fully backed stock tokens. Both the NYSE's planned digital venue and OKXICE's venue remain pending regulatory approval and have not yet launched.
Why it matters
The launches mark a shift from synthetic or offshore tokenized stock products to regulated, onchain US equities accessible to mainstream investors. Unlike many existing offerings, Securitize's tokens grant holders the same legal status as investors holding shares through a traditional brokerage, including eligibility for dividends and voting rights where applicable, and prohibit lending of the underlying shares. For ICE, the OKXICE project creates a direct bridge between NYSE exchange infrastructure and blockchain settlement, while giving OKX a path to operate in regulated US securities markets beyond crypto spot trading.
What the data shows
As of October 1, 2026, the Solana network hosted more than 1.27 million tokenized equity addresses, indicating growing adoption of blockchain-based traditional finance assets.
What is still unclear
- It is unclear when OKXICE or the NYSE's planned digital venue will secure regulatory approval and launch, or how many of the 60+ planned listed companies will consent to tokenization, as issuers have the right to object to tokenized versions of their stock.
Questions readers ask
Are tokenized US stocks legal for US investors?
Yes, the Securitize launch is available to eligible US investors under a SEC innovation exemption, and the tokens are structured as security entitlements under US commercial code.
Do tokenized stock holders get dividends and voting rights?
Securitize token holders receive applicable dividends and voting rights for their share class, the same as traditional brokerage investors, and the underlying shares are not lent out.
When will OKXICE's 24/7 tokenized stock trading launch?
No launch date has been announced, as the venue still requires regulatory approval from the SEC before it can operate.
